    Also stay away from Copley and Boylston street! Police are trying to find other devices, they believe there are others

    Confirmed 3rd explosion controlled. It sounded exactly like first two. Witness said other "packages" found.

    ^ Works for 7news here. I saw other tweets saying Police did a controlled 3rd explosion

    Homemade would make me think lone wolf or small group and domestic. My thinking is if it was foriegn they would look to have done more damage on a wider scale.

    What's the likelihood of finding the person who made the alleged home made bomb?

    I just something that said there were families of Newtown , CT watching near the finish line. Apparently the marathon was run in honor of the victims of that tragedy.

    They were bombs and they were terrorist attacks (could be domestic or foreign)

    I think the last mile, the 26th, was dedicated to the families of the Newton tragedy and some families were located along that mile.
